Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to find out how safe and effective is treating patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) with chemotherapy first and then follow with radiation therapy to a higher dose than what is usually delivered and see if patients could have complete response and be spared from surgery.

Arms & Interventions
SMART TNT Plan I
Participants will initiate therapy with neoadjuvant chemotherapy of either six (6) 14-day cycles of 5-fluorouracil + leucovorin + oxaliplatin (FOLFOX), six (6) 14-day cycles of 5-fluorouracil + leucovorin + irinotecan + oxaliplatin (mFOLFIRINOX), or four (4) 21-day cycles of capecitabine+oxaliplatin (CAPOX). Participants will then receive chemo-radiation therapy according to Plan I as follows: Plan I (5 weeks): * MRI-guided pelvic IMRT to the Planning Tumor Volume (PTV) at a dose of 50 Grays (gy) delivered in 25 fractions (fx) over 5 weeks. * Concurrent chemotherapy beginning on Day 1 of RT either: * 5-FU delivered 5 or 7 days per week. * Capecitabine (Xeloda) delivered 5 days per week. After completing Plan I, participants achieving complete Clinical Response (cCR) after completing Plan I chemo-radiation will forgo the Plan II boost and continue to follow-up. Participants not achieving cCR will begin Plan II, one week after completing Plan I.
